Michelle's Speech - Transcript

2012-09-05

Near the conclusion

If farmers and blacksmiths could win independence from an empire...if immigrants could leave behind everything they knew for a better life on our shores...if women could be dragged to jail for seeking the vote...if a generation could defeat a depression, and define greatness for all time...if a young preacher could lift us to the mountaintop with his righteous dream...and if proud Americans can be who they are and boldly stand at the altar with who they love...then surely, surely we can give everyone in this country a fair chance at that great American Dream.
And the final tug at your heartstrings -
But today, I have none of those worries from four years ago about whether Barack and I were doing what''s best for our girls.

Because today, I know from experience that if I truly want to leave a better world for my daughters, and all our sons and daughters...if we want to give all our children a foundation for their dreams and opportunities worthy of their promise...if we want to give them that sense of limitless possibility -- that belief that here in America, there is always something better out there if you''re willing to work for it...then we must work like never before...and we must once again come together and stand together for the man we can trust to keep moving this great country forward...my husband, our President, President Barack Obama.

Thank you, God bless you, and God bless America.
Does that mean she''s still proud of this country?

#18 Truth be told I miss the radical Michelle of old - its disconcerting to see how Marriage, Motherhood, + being FLOTUS, etc. has turned Sign-N-Molotov-carrying Michelle into the establishment Political, Femme stereotype she'd once vehemently railed against.

Sigh.

#17 I figured the farmers and blacksmiths reference was suggesting she knew something about the Revolutionary War. But Mrs. Bobby is the history major.

Volunteers at he event handed out colorful condoms in packages with the slogan PROTECT YOURSELF FROM ROMNEY & RYAN IN THIS ELECTION. The packages inside flap advised the user to LEARN THE FACTS ABOUT ROMNEY & RYAN.

The condom within the packet read PROPER ATTIRE Required for entry.

#12 Sorry Maggie,

the dogma is straight out of the 19th century. Granted that the symbol may be 20th, the dogma is earlier than that.

#11 while those in the auditorium rise to sing "We Will Overcome" and inflated condums fall from the ceiling.

I thought the inflated condums were after for Sandra Fluke's speech.

I mean they wouldn't want her to run out as works her way out of the stadium.

#10 "If farmers and blacksmiths..."

Dogma straight out of the failed communist experiment of the 20th century.

#9 I anxiously await his acceptance speech and the closing, where he will be patting the heads of throngs of multi-cult five and six year olds, while those in the auditorium rise to sing "We Will Overcome" and inflated condums fall from the ceiling.

#8 Mother State wants you to know Uncle Obama is pure at heart and pious in his deliverance.

For some reason, I prefer the ambitious jerkweed motive to love is governance and governance is love.

Garth...at first, I thought it was one of those sheer-like fabrics...

#6 I clicked back to the posting and found an apostrophe in Michelle's.

I tell ya, there's a glitch in the Berg! Other posts have quotes where there should be apostrophes!

Thank you, Bobby. Fred has been informed, and in the meantime the moderators are manually fixing the problem for the key areas -- images and hot links in the text.

#5 Among the dark complected population I am hearing over and over "he needs more time". Like he hasn't had a chance. That the problems are too many and difficult to sort out so soon. I believe he has been given plenty of.. oops!, almost.:-)

#3 Theater, Dream along with me we are on our way to the stars... This was expected and media response.

Bill Clinton is the one to watch in my opinion.

#2 if we want to give all our children a foundation for their dreams and opportunities worthy of their promise...if we want to give them that sense of limitless possibility

To include $ 30m fly-away vacations (at taxpayer expense) to Messico with 18 or 20 of their closest friends ?
